Day 2 of Training

Today is the 2nd full day of Camp training. It has gotten better than the past few with being overwhelmed with tons of stuff. Even though it has gotten a little bit better, its still SO much to take in never having this experience before.

I had a little slap in the face today and I think that helped a little also.

Throughout the day God really showed me that I focus to much on my relationships with other people and with other things in my life instead of focusing on what he has put in front of me.

I normally don't just come right out with things, but I'll be honest this time.

On the first few days that I have been here I have been so worried with how I am going and when I will get to talk to Evan and my family. Especially when I will get to talk to Evan because he will also be at a camp. I was (and still am a little bit) worried with how and when I will get to talk to each of them, that It really scared me and kept me from really seeing why I had been given this opportunity this summer. God put me at this camp for a reason. I don't know just yet what that reason is, but tonight I was reminded by someone at home and by Girls here at camp, that If I trust them and trust in God that everything is going to work out fine.

This verse was read today during trainging and is one of my personal favorites because it has also gotten me through the challenges of transferring schools.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jer. 29:11-13

Jesus has a plan for me whether I know what it is or not. And when I start to give up or when I start to think I can't go on he is going to be there for me and is going to hold me up and give me strength to continue. I am going to try my absolute hardest to stay strong for my campers, stay strong for my evan, stay strong for my family, and stay strong for myself. If you see me start to get weak or you see me start to think I can't continue, will you all please remind me to stay strong for God, stay strong for my campers, stay strong for my relationships, and to stay strong for myself too. Thank you for your support and encouragement. It means the world to me to know that people care enough to call me at 11 at night and make sure that I am fine!

Miss all of you a lot! :)
